The Queen has led the nation in honouring those who gave their lives for their country in the Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph.

The Queen laid her wreath on behalf of the nation, placing the poppies beneath the Cenotaph which bears the legend, 'The Glorious Dead'. The Queen walked backwards from the monument and bowed her head in remembrance.

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry and the Duke of York then made their tributes at the Cenotaph together with the Earl of Wessex, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Kent also laying their wreaths in a group.
